8.81. Doesn’t the Church today teach that God accepts people just as they are—including if they’re in same-sex relationships?
God created man male and female. The natural law, confirmed by divine revelation, teaches that sexual intimacy belongs exclusively within marriage between a man and a woman, open to life. Any other use of sexuality—especially homosexual acts—is a grave sin that cries to Heaven for vengeance (cf. Gen. 19, Lev. 18:22, Rom. 1:26–27).
But since Vatican II, the false church has downplayed this truth, encouraging emotional affirmation, creating ministries that normalize sin, and recently blessing sodomitical unions under Francis. This is not mercy—it is betrayal. Souls are being confirmed in mortal sin and led away from God.
Below is a doctrinal comparison between the true Catholic doctrine on homosexuality and the Vatican II error.
| Category | Traditional Catholic Teaching | Vatican II / Novus Ordo Practice | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nature of the Acts | Intrinsically disordered and gravely sinful (CCC pre-1992, Rom. 1:27) | Rarely condemned; focus shifted to “orientation” and identity | Refusing to call sin a sin is a failure of charity and truth |
| Moral Theology | Homosexual acts are mortal sins; violate natural and divine law | Seen as morally neutral or “complex pastoral situations” | This undermines God's law and promotes grave scandal |
| Response to Sinners | Call to repentance, chastity, and sacramental grace | Focus on inclusion, accompaniment, and affirmation | Real love corrects; false mercy condones sin |
| Sacramental Discipline | Those in unrepented mortal sin are barred from Holy Communion | Active homosexuals often permitted or even invited to receive | This is sacrilege and a mockery of the Eucharist |
| Liturgical Practice | Sinful lifestyles excluded from clerical or liturgical functions | “LGBTQ Masses,” “Pride” blessings, and homosexual clergy tolerated | This profanes the sanctuary and deceives souls |
| Church Teaching | Condemned at multiple councils and consistently by saints | Downplayed, apologized for, or ignored in official statements | Doctrinal silence is spiritual negligence |
| Modern Innovations | None. The Church has always condemned sodomy | Francis and bishops have blessed same-sex “unions” (2023–24) | Formal approval of sin confirms this is a false church |
| Fruits | Conversion, chastity, clarity, reverence for God’s law | Confusion, scandal, irreverence, apostasy | “By their fruits you shall know them” (Matt. 7:16) |
Summary:
The Church has always taught that homosexual acts are gravely sinful, condemned by Scripture, Tradition, and reason. The Vatican II sect, however, has promoted a false gospel of tolerance and sentimentalism, confirming souls in vice instead of calling them to repentance.
This is not mercy. It is modernist deception, rejecting both the natural law and the Gospel of Christ.
As St. Paul warned:
“Do not err: neither fornicators… nor the effeminate, nor liars with mankind… shall possess the kingdom of God.”
The true Church must preach the truth with love—calling all sinners, including homosexuals, to conversion, confession, and sanctifying grace—not to false inclusion and eternal ruin.
